98% of the teenage population does or has tried smoking pot. If you're one of the 2% who hasn't, copy and paste this into your journal.
I am 31, so maybe I am to old for that cut and paste, but still.
I was reading www.1wrestling.com yesterday and I came across this. A reader sent in this question. I will bold that interesting part.
In your opinion, which will happen first:
A) Cincinnati Bengals make the playoffs
B) Chris Benoit becomes singles World Champion
C) HHH & Stephanie divorce in real life
D) Vince Russo gets hired as lead writer
Wow, that is a really hard question. All of those things have minimal chances of happening. Benoit has almost no shot. HHH will never leave Steph, and Vince won't let Steph leave HHH. Russo? No way. So I will say that Marvin Lewis will take the Bengals to the playoffs first.

Star wipe, and we're out.
I got up today at 5:00 P.M.
I changed my wiper blades. Boy, my old ones were barely on. All the rubber was hanging off. They were worthless.
I went to my cousins softball game today. I say a gal there who used to go to my church.
Then we all went out and ate at Coney Island, the one on Gratiot and 94.
Today is the 2 year anniversary of NWA:TNA. Jeff Hardy was there. Wow.

Who in the DEVIL are you?
So, about a year and a half ago a guy named Mark worked with me at Deebe's. He had a friend named Scott. Mark went into the military and is in Iraq right now. He left Deebe's in DEC. 2002. I have seen Scott a couple of times since then.
Last week there were a group of really cool people hanging out at Deebe's. When I had closed up, three of them were playing hacky-sack out side. They asked if I wanted to play, and I played with them for about a half hour. When they left I shook their hands and told them how cool they were.
Tonight, Scott came into Deebe's. He is a Christian now. So I was talking with him for about 10 minutes and at the end of the conversation he asked (jokingly) if I wanted to go outside and play hacky-sack, and I kind of chuckled. But then I got to thinking. So I went to his table and asked if I was playing hacky-sack with him last week, AND I WAS!!!!!!! I did not even recognize him then, but I did today. And like he was IN Deebe's last week and it is lit outside. I have no idea how I did not recognize him. I am loosing my mind.

None Like it Hot
I had to cut the grass today. It was way to hot out there. And it is way to hot down here. I live in a freakin' basement and its 75 degrees. I don't think my Grandparents have the central air on.

Monotony Report
My Grandma got me up at 2:00 P.M. today to help in the yard. It was hot. I hate heat. It was sunny. I hate sunlight.
Then I went to my Chaplaincy class and turned in my book report.
I then came home and watched "Signs" with my Grandma and Grandpa (he is actually my step Grandpa, I call him Bert.)
Here now, is my book report:
A Exercise in Monotony
A book report by Noel Reichel
"God @ Work" is a book by Rich Marshall. Rich feels that everyone is called to the ministry, no matter what his or her occupation is, and he feels it very strongly. That is the main point of the book. The author tells us the main point over, and over, and over again.
Rich Marshall uses the first eighteen pages of the book to establish that he will use the term "priest" to mean one anointed for the ministry proper, and the term "king" to mean one anointed for business of some sort outside of the church. He uses the first eighteen pages to tell us this and of course, tell us the main point of the book a couple of times as well.
The rest of the book is a collection of testimonies, stories, and Bible stories to back up his point. There is also the great advice he gives, "We must guard ourselves in the area of moral purity, and from seeking power and position". I have never heard anything remotely close to this, so I cracked my Bible, and lo and behold it is in there. In chapter eight he has this to say, "What I am recommending is that it is wise to obey the Lord in all things he asks of you". I wish he would not be so deep. Here again is ground breaking wisdom. I cannot tell you how many nights I would smoke a joint and read a Hustler and wonder why I was making no spiritual headway in my life, but thanks to this book I realize it is because I did not obey the Lord.
I did enjoy chapter eleven. Chapter eleven is the testimony of Dennis and Megan Doyle, and Megan Doyle wrote it. In it she talks about how her and her husband have used their business as a ministry, and the fruit it has yielded. There was nothing in really mind blowing in this chapter, but it was not written to be included in a book either. I got the feeling it was a letter written to the author and the other included it in his book. The parts about the threefold purpose of their business were probably the most useful and practical parts of the book.
The author certainly did achieve his purpose of declaring that everyone is called to the ministry, and he does it with all the subtlety and finesse of a manic welding a chain saw. He beats you over the head with this bit of information the same way your girlfriend's husband would beat you over the head with a two by four.
I did not find anything really outstanding in his writing style, but really there does not need to be anything outstanding for the concepts he is trying to convey. And maybe it is better this way. Perhaps being less simplistic would hurt the overall intent of the book. So I do believe that the writhing style was effective for the message he was trying to send.
"God @ Work" is the biggest exercise in monotony I have seen since I counted the individual furs on my cat to make sure she was not over shedding. It is not that what the author has to say is not good, it is very good. He just does not need 136 pages to do it in. About 10% of the book is new idea, and the other ninety is just recycling the 10% in new ways.
Although what he has to say is good, it really is not new. I can't imagine anyone who has been a Christian for over a year not to have heard or figured out that they were called to minister to the lost yet. It goes without saying that this would include using their jobs as a ministry place where possible. I may be different because I feel God has lead me to my current place of employment, but this was not revelation to me when it happened.
"God @ Work" is a fantastic book for a new Christian who is wondering how he or she can minister effectively, or may be wondering what they are called to. For any other Christians, they should read chapter eleven and be finished with it, as the rest will probably be redundant and a waste or their time. I give this book two fingers out of five.
